Florence, Italy


 We went to Florence on the train from Il Borro. My brother and my Dad went to a science museum while my mom and I went to the Academia Museum. We walked in and saw David. He was super big! But he was completely naked. We also saw Michelangelo's unfinished prisoners. The unfinished Pieta was also there.

It is hard to find the names of streets in Florence.
They are on the sides of buildings.


Next, we went to El Duomo. My mom and I decided to climb up the dome. There were 463 stairs! It was so tiring. When we got to the top we could see the whole city.

We went to the Ponte Vecchio. Ponte Vecchio means old bridge. We met my dad and my brother there for lunch. It had jewelry stores everywhere! My mom and I went and got some gelato.  We also went to the Uffizi and saw some famous paintings.
